CamScribe records your screen and your camera on four independent tracks, holds your talking points in front of you while you speak, and hands the take to a real multi-track editor. Your recordings never leave your Mac.
macOS 15 or later, Apple Silicon. In development, not yet released.
Each one is written by its own writer to its own file. Lose a track and the recording says which one and why, in a sentence, and still hands back everything it did capture.
Positions and lengths are integers. Clip speed is an exact reduced fraction, never a decimal. That is what stops audio and video drifting apart as a recording gets longer.
Preview and export are the same code, held to it by a test that renders both and compares them. An effect cannot exist in one and not the other, and neither can the trial mark: without Pro you see it in the editor, in the corner the file will carry it.
Capture, transcription, models, search and export all run on your machine, with the Wi-Fi off if you like. There is no account and no analytics. The one thing that needs a connection is buying, which is the App Store talking to Apple.
Screen, camera, microphone and system audio each get their own writer and their own file. If a device disappears mid take, you get a sentence saying which track was lost and why, and everything else is still there.
Global shortcuts work while CamScribe is in the background, and they use a mechanism that needs no Accessibility grant, so the application never asks for one.
Write what you mean to say before you start, and read it while you record. The prompter is a second window with one job, and every control for it also lives on the recorder panel and on a global shortcut.
It works in all three recording modes, and like the recorder panel it is excluded from capture, so it is on your screen and not in your file.
A camera recording goes wrong in two ways: you leave the frame, and you find out later. CamScribe watches the preview while you record and gives you a guide, then lets you fix the centring properly in the editor once the take exists.
The face guide, the self view and the region marker are all preview surfaces. None of them reaches the file.
Trim, split, join, remove a range, insert a gap, place a clip anywhere, retime it with an exact fraction, fade it, and set its gain and opacity. Zoom, blur, highlight, mask and volume are all the same automation primitive, so learning one teaches you the rest.
Every edit is a reversible command in a replayable log. Drag a slider eighty times and it is one press of Command Z, because a gesture coalesces. Simple and Advanced modes are curated control by control, and hiding a control never resets it: a project configured in Advanced renders identically in Simple.
The usual answer to a stumble is to record the whole thing again. CamScribe lets you select the part that went wrong, record just that, and put it back in place with the rest of the take untouched.
A recording with captions gets watched on mute. CamScribe transcribes on the device, gives you the cues as an editable layer, and burns them into the exported picture.
Title and intro cards are spliced between slices rather than laid over them: inserting one splits every lane at the playhead and moves what follows later by exactly the card's own length, as one action and one undo. Fifty one templates ship, carrying 257 named motion variants, and every length in them is a fraction of the canvas, so a card adapts to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5 by construction.
CamScribe ships an MCP server. An agent can list your recordings, configure a take, start and stop it, read the timeline, apply editing commands, queue an export and watch it finish. 45 tools, over five scopes you grant one at a time.
It reaches the same command log the editor reaches. There is no second code path for automation, which is why an agent's edit is undoable in the same window, in the same order, with the same keystroke.
Recordings are yours and they stay where you made them. Capture, transcription, models, search and export all run on the Mac, and every one of them works with the network switched off. No recording, no frame and no transcript is ever uploaded, because there is nothing in the application that could upload one.
Search across your recordings builds its index inside the recording's own package, and a redactor strips email addresses, phone numbers, card numbers, addresses and personal names from the transcript before anything is indexed.
No trial clock, no project count and nothing greyed out. An export made without Pro carries a small mark and is capped at 1080p, and the editor shows you that mark rather than saving it for afterwards.
Renews every 1 month
Renews every 1 year
Never renews
All three unlock the same thing: an export with no mark, at the size you asked for. Two of them are auto-renewable subscriptions and renew until you cancel them in your Apple Account; the third is paid once and never renews. CamScribe is not released yet, so there is nothing to buy today. What is free, and what Pro costs.
It is built, it is tested, and it has never met your hardware. If you record on a Mac and you would rather tell us what is wrong than wait for it to be finished, ask Olib AI for a build.
